Before I Knew You

I jumped into it before I knew you

I had an idea of who you were

And you proved me wrong

But then again,

You are always right, aren't you?

I guess I wanted something

And you looked the part

But you couldn't act.

Then again,

You are the best at it all, aren't you?

You showed me peace

Even if only for a moment

And I ate it up

Despite the dish you served

only days before

Then again,

I'm so vulnerable, aren't I?

And it was perfect timing

With all the pairing birds

So why not you and I

We could make something beautiful.

I'm not sure if that's what you want.

But then again,

You're so sure of yourself,

aren't you?

I captured sight of a dream

Before I Knew I was dreaming.

And I thought it was solid.

All in my feebleness.

All in my weak hopeful heart.

And you fooled me well,

Didn't you?
